Member since February 2018 Galveston, United States

Background: I have been fishing since the age of 8 and have been a resident of Galveston Island, Texas for the past 14 years. I have been fishing and boating for most of my life and have been guiding full time the past 8 years. I consider fishing more passion than sport and it is my goal is to make every angler aboard the Contender feel as if they are fishing with a friend, not a guide. I love to target all species of fish, but my favorite thing to fish for is shark. Most people enjoy a great fight, and pound for pound, a big shark is the best fighting fish you can possibly catch.

Half Day Trip–Jetty

Travis was an awesome Captain, would highly recommend his services. I’d recommend his services to novices, experts and everything in between. We caught all kinds of good stuff, including a Monsta Red Drum! Great Captain, and we had a great time on our trip.

Capt Chop Is The Truth

VERIFIED

Windy day. Water and climate was still cold so fish were a bit dormant. Only one other boat was seen out. Our trip was reserved months in advance as we flew in to Texas from Maryland so conditions or no conditions…..we’re fishin! Capt Chop knew the spots! Spots that required much manuever to stay on top of. Caught multiple Reds, Drums, a couple of shovel heads and had a Cobia on the line that got away at the surface. We’ll be back for that Cobia!

Had the best day ever…Took my Dad, Little Brother, Son in Law, and my son. To see the crew make us feel at home and made the experience a time that we will never forget…We laughed and joked the whole trip…Couldn’t have asked for a better Captain and Deck hand. There is no doubt we will be using In the Zone Fishing for all future trips…If you want to have a great day on the sea…then look no further….Thank you In the Zone for an excellent experience shared by all.

it was our pleasure to be able to do that for you guys. We love the smiles on children’s faces when they catch fish like this. Hope to see you again soon.
